Celebrate a life lived well over 9 decades, RIP Uncle Grant
I grew up a farm and couple roads over from the Stephenson home farm. Many wonderful hours were spent with cousins ripping around trails thru the bush, fields etc. I always like to listen to Uncle Grants view on life, farming and our community.
Later in life, Roya and I were shopping for countertops in Strathroy and sales person mentioned today is Strathroy Christmas Parade. Once we were done shopping, we headed over to parade, not exactly dressed to stand outside in Dec. As we got close to Main Street I noticed a older gentlemen sitting in a running truck, looking closer, it was Uncle Grant observing the start of parade. He offered us room inside heated truck to watch, we accepted and had an enjoyable visit.
That's the Grant Stephenson I remember, always willing to make things better for others.
Condolences to all of the family and the generations that have followed
